About

Glen F. Pastores, LMFT in Chula Vista's Eastlake area provides psychotherapy for adults, children, adolescents, and couples navigating anxiety, OCD, and chronic-illness adjustment as a UC San Diego Health-affiliated clinician. The practice integrates Psychodynamic Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into individualized treatment sequences, a layered clinical model that addresses the psychological dimensions of pain conditions often co-managed with musculoskeletal providers such as Clear Chiropractic. Pastores maintains both in-person appointments at his Lane Avenue office in the 91914 corridor and HIPAA-compliant teletherapy through the Doxy platform, expanding access for patients across the Eastlake and Otay Ranch communities. His chronic-illness counseling track supports patients adapting to cardiovascular, autoimmune, and metabolic diagnoses, a specialty that generates referral coordination with medical specialists including Cardiovascular Institute of San Diego. Sessions apply Brief Solution-Focused Therapy protocols that target measurable behavioral change within structured short-term treatment arcs, using validated outcome scales to track anxiety and mood symptom reduction across each phase.
